This was such an interesting post Maggie - I'm a huge lover of sacred ruins and these are SO old - imagine unearthing pottery from 2300 B.C., amazing! A Summer concert here would be a fabulous evening out.Great photos - a place I'd love to visit.

What amazing architecture and feats of building! We can't do anything without our machines and computers, but these ancient civilizations built structures that stand for centuries and continue to astound. Having a knowledgeable guide is the best way to see these places. How great that you were the only ones there.

All that blue sky and brown earth gives me hope! How I would love to have been there not only for the weather but also for the remarkable history that this region holds. It would be a fascinating vacation!

I so enjoyed this tour, with only one regret: I'd like to have been aside you. I am always astounded by those old ruins, wondering how they were built. On the backs of slaves I suppose. Wonderful photos with great narrative which I enjoyed.

Breathtaking pictures of these monumental ruins, along with a very interesting narrative, and, although I am familiar with the history, hearing it from another, rejuvenates its significance. Thank you for the wonderful tour!
